Why change your air filter?
It is important to change the cabin air filter of your 2016 Toyota Camry for a few reasons:
- Extending the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps prolong the life of the system.
- Cleaner air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for the passengers.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which can damage the engine over time.
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter can also help improve the air quality outside the car by filtering out airborne contaminants.
- Improved engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a greater amount of air to reach the engine, which enhances overall performance and fuel efficiency.
If you replace your air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Toyota Camry engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is clean and healthy.

If you drive in a heavily polluted area, or in an area with high levels of dust, pollen, or other allergens, consider changing the filter more frequently.

It’s also important to pay attention to the signs that the filter needs to be changed, including:
